Hi there!
Because your site only has a single author, your name won’t be included in the byline. This only happens when there are multiple authors on the site. You have two solutions:
You can add your author information to your sidebar, so everyone knows you are the author of the posts on the site.
You can add another author to your site and allow them to publish. Then, your bylines will display as you wish.
I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

Hey!
So I added another author and allowed them to publish, but the bylines still don’t change. I also noticed that my categories and tags don’t show on the posts even though I did add them in my draft. Any ideas?
Thanks so much!

Hey there!
You’ve previously added some CSS code that is hiding the author name. I am not certain what purpose you had for adding that code originally, but if you want to delete it, the author will appear in the byline.
To delete this code, go to the link below and click the CSS tab:
https://writelabblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwritelabblog.wordpress.com%2FThe code that must be deleted is:
p a {
display: none;
}Make sure to save your change.
Removing this code will also allow your Categories and Tags to display on individual blog posts.
That should do the trick! If I can help in any other way, please drop me a line. Cheers :)
